🌍🇷🇺 Putin on Africa: De-dollarization, BRICS and a New Financial Order
Putin's statements on Africa are making noise. Here are the key points 👇
🌾 1. Food Security
• According to Putin, Russia exported 13 million tonnes of agricultural products to Africa in the first 9 months of the year.
• More than 40 African countries receive Russian fertilizers and grain.
💱 2. Financial Sovereignty
• He advocates a settlement system in national currencies between Russia and Africa.
• In his view, dependence on the Western financial system limits the sovereignty of African countries.
📊 3. BRICS vs G7
• Putin claims BRICS accounted for over 40% of global GDP over the past 5 years, versus under 30% for the G7.
• He calls for reforming the IMF and the World Bank, a legacy of 1945.
🌅 4. "African Awakening"
• He denounces illegitimate sanctions, tariff wars and the "debt trap."
⚠️ Worth noting: The 40% vs 30% figure is based on purchasing power parity (PPP). In nominal GDP terms, the G7 still carries significantly more weight than BRICS.
🪙 Why it matters for the market
• A non-dollar payment system would change the game for trade flows and local currencies.
• The de-dollarization debate fuels interest in payment alternatives, including stablecoins and crypto.
• Keep an eye on: BRICS decisions, sanctions and the dollar's trajectory (DXY).
💬 What do you think: will Africa be the next arena for de-dollarization?
